Roland Boutique Series JX-03 Limited-edition Module

Re-creation of a Classic Roland Synth

The Roland JX-03 gives you the sound and control of the
company's classic JX-3P synthesizer in a compact module with battery
operation and a built-in speaker, so you can be creative anywhere. A
member of Roland's limited-edition Boutique range, this little 4-voice
powerhouse retains the distinctive sonic character, feel, and user
interface of the JX-3P. As did its progenitor, the JX-03 offers
immediate push-button access to presets, and for instant sound
sculpting, the front panel has all 24 knobs from the original PG-200
controller. Also onboard the Roland JX-03 are new waveforms and
cross-modulation options, as well as an expanded range for its two
digitally controlled oscillators.

Classic JX-3P sound with PG-200 control

Launched in
1983, the JX-3P remains somewhat of a hidden gem in the vintage-synth
pantheon. If you were looking for instant access to huge, stable Roland
sounds, it obliged with an easy-to-use, button-driven interface in lieu
of the knob-and-slider-festooned top panel sported by many of its
contemporaries. Attach the optional PG-200 controller, though, and you
could tap into the true power of the JX-3P's highly programmable synth
engine. Today's JX-03 module gives you the panel layout of the PG-200
(including all 24 knobs) for instant, direct access to the flexible
synth architecture that lurks beneath the bonnet of the Roland JX-03.

New sound-sculpting options

As they did with other
members of the Boutique series, Roland added in subtle improvements that
weren't found on the original models. The JX-03 delivers additional
waveforms and extended range for both DCOs, as well as bonus waveforms
for the LFO. The second DCO also has extra cross-modulation options. To
the never-ending delight of Sweetwater synth geeks, these new
enhancements further expand the sound-creation capability of the
battle-tested JX engine.

16-step sequencer helps you sketch out ideas

The
16-step sequencer onboard the Roland JX-03 is a veritable scratchpad
that lets you sketch out new ideas without a ton of gear; you can even
use it without a keyboard. With no keyboard connected, the JX-03's
ribbon controllers let you preview a sound - an easy way to program
patches quickly. If you need keyboard input, however, the optional
25-note, velocity-sensitive K-25m is an ideal solution. Simply dock the
JX-03 in the keyboard, and you can tilt the module for convenient access
to all its front-panel controls.
